Lowepro SlingShot 302 AW User Reviews

Awesome bag“I was looking for a bag that allowed a whole bunch of options. I don’t have a digital SLR (yet), but I do have a 35MM SLR with several lenses. My current bag is an older Lowe Pro that holds my SLR, two lenses and a flash. I also have a point and shoot digital, a digital HDD video camera, a full size tripod and a host of acessories. This one bag carries it all, including some room for non photo and video items (snacks, items for my two young boys, iPod, etc). “ – By Bunson HoneydewRating:

Lowepro SlingShot 302 AW“The built in All Weather AW Cover is in a good area, located at the bottom , back of the pack but again like the built in microfiber cloth I think it would better to be able to remove it for cleaning or just to dry. I guess you can leave it hanging out to dry. I personally think it would have been better to just have made the pack waterproof in general if this is possible because if you are caught in a sudden down pour you will have to unbuckle yourself out of this pack , unzip the storage compartment which stores the All Weather AW Cover, slide it over the front of your pack and then put the pack back on. So overall the pack is extremely comfortable and with the waist belt I can get over the fact that it sits on my left shoulder rather than my right. “ – By Lisa N TexasRating:

Versatile, Quality Backpack,“This is a backpack with a single shoulder strap. The strap sits on your right shoulder, diagonally crosses the front of your body, and attaches to the bag again at your left side. The idea is that you can “sling” (pull) the bag around from your back to your front without ever having to take it off. The bag is designed in such a way that when you do this, the side of the bag becomes the top, and the main compartment and zippers are facing you for quick access to you gear. Because of the single “across the body” strap design, the backpack will never sit perfectly straight on your back, rather at a slight angle. To compensate this, there is a padded waist belt, which helps straighten the pack and distribute the load…” – By Koala1356Rating:

Solid multi-purpose camera pack“This pack is stylish and comfortable to wear… the waist strap helps distribute the weight and the pack holds anything you’d need to carry with a camera – there’s even a handy place to attach a folded camera stand to the bag. The inside partitions can be taken out (they’re attached w/velcro) making this pack flexible. The zippers are good quality – the main zipper path goes under straps so you need to open them before unzipping or it will be a bit cumbersome.” – By Jed ShlackmanRating:

I am delighted to own this“Prior to getting this, I had used a 20 year old camera case. My new Lowepro SlingShot now holds 2 cameras, multiple lenses, camera manuals, and various other accessories – and there is still room to spare! It is very sturdy, well designed, and comfortable to wear while hiking. I recommend this to anyone who plans to hike any distance and take photographs at the same time. “ – By S. ShraderRating:

Great products, amazing customer service“I have a number of Lowepro bags. They all serve different functions. They’re all really solidly built, and very well designed. They have the occasional SMALL design quirk, but easily they’re the best I’ve used. I really want to mention their customer service, though. I had a zipper on a bag die a slow death a while ago, and I wrote in about it. They offered to quickly send me a replacement without having to ship in the original.” – By T. SavageRating:
